Stripes

My scraps box has been a goldmine today - the challenge across at fun with ATCs #96 is for stripes and here are some of the results created from discards & leftovers...

This one is my challenge link
A scrap mounted on black & white with lines extended. 

And here are a few variations - the make of stamp is unknown but it's been coloured with promarkers
On black. 

On brown. 


On a piece of TIFFANY catalogue that is almost the perfect shade, again I've extended the lines. 


On black. 

This also reminded me of a card I made a while back that I've not shared 

A dark brown base, a layer of feather edged pink mulberry paper & a layer of sketch pad paper - the stamps are Stampington clearly impressed range (shore cliff & fresh flowers) walnut ink for the weed, seedless preserves for the "plaques" , picked raspberry for the stars but I cannot remember what I used for the row of "scribble" squares!

I added mother of pearl buttons and some strips of ribbon that have been hand stitched onto the top layer of paper. These add-ins all came from the humongous stash box :-)

Enjoy!

Silhouette

The CAS 61 challenge is silhouette 

I was rather spoilt for choice on this one! What with Halloween, Christmas & flowers all being options and I could not make up my mind which way to go - at least it had to be clean & simple :-)

I did 3 Twinchies , 2 moos, an ATC & an arched ATC as well as the 2 cards I'm sharing. 

The stamps are Paper Artsy stamped in black onto pale blue card stock & mounted on 6x4 white card blanks. 
This is my entry at the challenge 

And here is the other share


All they need adding is an appropriate message inside.

Music

A second post from me today, this time with my entry for the Addicted to CAS ATCAS21 challenge  which is MUSIC. 

I've used an inkadinkadoo stamp that I coloured with felt pens (brand unknown) stamped directly onto card, I've added a little border from a set of stamps that I bought in the St Andrews branch of Ryman inked with crushed olive distress ink


You make me feel like dancin'.....

Back to school

CFC113 challenge time is "back to school" so here is my contribution!

A free stamp inked in black & coloured with promarkers :-)

And whilst I was at it I made another one with part of the same stamp & then I added a briefcase also coloured with promarkers. A little fake stitching around the edges....

Less is more

LIM#136 challenge is a colour one!

I've gone very simple: a negative die cut used as a stencil to create a rusty hinge background - a branch in the same colour & 2 leaves coloured with peeled paint. Both leaves & branch have been diecut using  the tattered garland die.


I shall add an appropriate greeting when the occasion arises.

Inchie Monday

A little paper scrap, a partial print of a Paper Artsy car and there you have this weeks inchie challenge!
